Re: Av's 2014 Rams 7 Round Mock (Version 1.0)

NFL.com's Gil Brandt believes Eastern Illinois senior QB Jimmy Garoppolo is a potential Top-100 pick.
Garoppolo has decent size (6-foot-2, 222 pounds) and athleticism; more importantly, he's absolutely shredding the FCS level once again in 2013. A four-year starter, Garoppolo passed former EIU All-American Tony Romo in career touchdown passes in last week's blowout win over Eastern Kentucky (Garoppolo's 88 TD connections rank 22nd in FCS history). Garoppolo is a confident player who processes information quickly and can pick defenses apart in the short-to-intermediate game. This is an under-the-radar prospect to keep an eye on.

He's looking more like a Round 3-4 guy than a Round 6 guy. He still might be on my future mocks, though. The more I read on the guy, the more it seems that he's not just a physical talent, but is a guy who really knows how to run an offense.

Some blurbs about some of the other players on my mock:

Florida juniors CBs Loucheiz Purifoy and Marcus Roberson are leaning towards declaring for the NFL Draft, according to National Football Post's Jason Cole.
This is not a real surprise, as both prospects are talented and Florida has plenty of depth at the position. Roberson's season has been a bit of a let down due to injuries, while Purifoy spent the offseason seeing time on both offense and defense. A large number of corners will likely be selected in the top-64 picks

NFL.com's Gil Brandt ranks LSU's Craig Loston as the top senior S heading into the 2013 season.
Florida State's Lamarcus Joyner, Seminole safety Terrence Brooks, Ohio State's Christian Bryant, and BYU's Daniel Sorensen round out the top five. "Loston -- who sports a 40-yard dash time of 4.55 seconds -- has the necessary cover skills and toughness for the position," Brandt writes. We are a bit surprised that UNC's Tre Boston didn't make the list.

ESPN's Kevin Weidl wrote that Miami junior LB Denzel Perryman is an "explosive and heavy hitter."
Perryman, at 6-foot-0, 243-pounds, is on "the shorter side" but "can play," according to Weidl. The Coral Gables native is a stout and instinctive inside linebacker who possesses the athleticism to handle pass coverage. That last attribute makes Perryman a three-down linebacker, a designation that increases his draft value

Former NFL LB and current Louisiana-Lafayette position coach James Willis believes Western Kentucky senior RB Antonio Andrews will play on Sundays.
"He's special. You will see him playing on Sundays," Willis said. "He's explosive. He's fast. He has great vision and balance. He's got everything an NFL program would love to have on their team." Andrews has great numbers, but he has to hold on to the football in order to sustain success.

Wisconsin senior offensive lineman Ryan Groy has been given a surprisingly high grade by NFL evaluators, according to DraftInsider.net's Tony Pauline.
Pauline is likely referring to a scouting service such as BLESTO. Groy, who filled in for Ricky Wagner last year at left tackle, projects as a guard at the next level. The senior has plenty of versatility, having started at center, guard and tackle in college.
